TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present various data improvements achieved within the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative (ESA CCI) project on "Sea Level" during its first phase (2010-2013), using multi-mission satellite altimetry data over the 1993-2010 time span.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present an ongoing effort supported by the European Space Agency (ESA) Climate Change Initiative Programme for improving the altimetry-based sea level products, which make use of ESA missions (ERS-1 and 2 and Envisat) in addition to the so-called reference missions like TOPEX/Poseidon and the Jason series in the computation of the sea level time series, and improve all processing steps in order to meet the Global Climate Observing System (GCOS) accuracy requirements defined for a set of 50 Essential Climate Variables, sea level

TL;DR: Sandrine Mulet, Bruno Buongiorno Nardelli, Simon Good, Andrea Pisano, Eric Greiner, Maeva Monier, Emmanuel... as discussed by the authors The Essential Variables of Ocean Temperature and Salinity

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focused on the determination and validation of the new Mean Sea Surface from the CNES/CLS, which merges multiple satellite altimeters over 16 years of observations.

TL;DR: In this paper, the European Environment Policy Framework (EOPF) and the European Oceanographic Environment Policy framework (EOPE) are discussed and an overview of the main outcomes are presented.
